As part of my “super fan” status, the kind folks at Carhartt sent me their Acadia waterproof breathable jacket (stock number J219) to try out and review. The jacket couldn’t have come at a more inopportune time of the year: mid-July and no rain in sight! Needless to say, there weren’t many chances to try it out as either a rain jacket or simply a lightweight windbreaker. I was about to stand out in the yard and have the wife soak me with the garden hose nozzle set to “rain” just to try it out! Guilt was starting to set in from letting the jacket simply hang in the closet while Carhartt was waiting patiently to hear what I had to say. Finally, just before I did anything as drastically silly as standing dancing around under the garden hose, it rained; it rained cold and steady and work had me scheduled to be outside the whole time. Perfect!

Steve Joins the Evo Empire
Sprint's HTC Evo - front and back.
Sorry iPhony friends, the rumors are true: I’m an Evo kind of guy. Since its debut weekend back in June, I’ve been brandishing the fancy-dancy Sprint flagship phone. After much research and comparison via the all-knowing web, I [luckily] decided to reserve a phone at Best Buy and check it out. After nearly two month’s worth of relying on this thing as my digital tether, here’s my hand’s on real world experience with it; the good, bad, and everything in between.
